Gerard was drafted in May 1941. He would have been sent to a regional training center and assigned to a unit. It is probable that he had experience as an infantry leader because he was a SSG when transferred from the replacement depot to I Company 116th Infantry on 22 Jul 1944. He fought with the unit as a squad leader through operation Cobra and in the early days of the fight to liberate Brest, France. SSG Sena was killed in action on 7 Sep 1944 in Brest.
SSG Sena is buried in the Brittany American Cemetery.
